Source for every row: the Hexcel HexForce product data sheet of the same number (links below), US-system column; g/m² and mm as printed by Hexcel. Warp and fill yarns are the same except on 7580 (fill ECG 37 1/0) and 1581 (see the Hexcel sheet). Thickness is dry fabric, not cured ply thickness.
Notes from the guide
- Not a substitution table. A different style, weave or finish is a material change that approved data must allow.
- Dry values only. Cured ply thickness depends on resin content and compaction.
- One manufacturer. Other weavers’ sheets for the same style will be close but not identical.
